“…Consistent with OCD cognitive explanation models, moral emotions such as anger, guilt, and disgust were linked to obsessive thoughts. This is because anger and disgust are important components of moral judgment and moral violation [30,31]. In this way aggressive and sexual obsessions or thoughts may represent elicitors of anger.…”

Background: Despite the theoretical and clinical relevance of psychopathological dimensions in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), no studies to date have investigated their possible association with obsession subtypes. Thus, we aimed to examine whether, in OCD patients, anger and other psychopathological dimensions are associated with specific obsession subtypes. Methods: We consecutively recruited 57 first-visit OCD patients (66.7% female, mean age 34 years) at our Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic. We used the point biserial coefficient (r_pbi) to measure the correlation between psychopathological dimensions and obsession subtypes. Results: We found significant correlations (p < 0.05) between the following: (1) anger/aggressiveness dimension and aggressive, contamination, and sexual obsessions; (2) apprehension/fear dimension and contamination, religious, and somatic obsessions; (3) sadness/demoralization dimension and contamination and somatic obsessions; (4) impulsivity dimension and aggressive and sexual obsessions, and (5) somatic concern/somatization dimension and contamination and somatic obsessions. We also found that OCD patients with comorbid obsessive-compulsive personality disorder - but not schizotypal or histrionic disorders - showed higher levels (p < 0.05) of obsessiveness/iterativity and anger/aggressiveness than OCD patients without the personality disorder. Conclusions: Anger and other psychopathological dimensions seem to be linked with specific obsession subtypes in OCD patients, suggesting an association between these dimensions and OCD.

“…24(p182) Guilt has since been redefined by social and behavioral scientists as an interpersonally driven emotion, which may be based on altruism and the need to maintain attachment to others. [26][27][28][29] This redefinition is critical to the understanding of survivor guilt because it expands the theorizing beyond an intrapersonal mental/emotional "feeling" to a social phenomenon of interaction that includes the judgment of others.…”

Survivor guilt, a concept associated with the interpersonal process of "surviving" harm while others do not, increasingly appears in nursing, medicine, and psychology literature. Paradoxically, the phenomenon is rarely defined and often poorly described. Combining Rodger's evolutionary concept analysis with a comprehensive literature review, we explain the attributes, antecedents, consequences, related concepts, and surrogate terms of survivor guilt. A new definition emerged from the evolving use of the concept in new contexts. Survivor guilt is a valid form of suffering for which effective interventions need to be developed. This analysis extends the concept, laying the foundation for comprehensive treatment strategies.

“…Negative self‐conscious emotions such as guilt are elicited when an individual attributes failure to an “internal, unstable, and controllable cause, such as effort” (Tracy & Robins, , p. 1348). A multitude of research has demonstrated the ability of guilt to guide a variety of decisions (Basil, Ridgway, & Basil, ; Carni, Petrocchi, Del Miglio, Mancini, & Couyoumdjian, ; Dahl, Honea, & Manchanda, ; Hibbert, Smith, Davies, & Ireland, ; Tangney, Miller, Flicker, & Barlow, , ). More recently, anticipated guilt has been shown to guide ethical purchase decisions when an individual is motivated to avoid feelings of guilt associated with choosing a less ethical option (Antonetti & Baines, ; Antonetti & Maklan, , ; Onwezen et al., , ; Peloza et al., ; Steenhaut & Van Kenhove, ).…”

The Best I Can Be: How Self‐Accountability Impacts Product Choice in Technology‐Mediated Environments

Technology-mediated environments are important not only as the location for an increasing proportion of purchases, but also as an even more pervasive part of the purchase journey. While most research into online consumer behavior focuses on attitudes as an antecedent of product choice, this article focuses on an important but hardly explored variable that may be impacted by technology-mediated environments: self-accountability. Laboratory experiments suggest that self-accountability may influence online purchases, but this has not been confirmed in field studies. Furthermore, although this prior work suggests that self-accountability may impact product choice through the elicitation of guilt, the role of positive emotions has not been explored. Using two surveys with online retailers, this paper (a) shows that in a technology-mediated environment, self-accountability influences product choice; (b) proposes and confirms a complementary route for this effect through pride that is stronger than that through guilt; and (c) evidences the relationship between self-accountability and perceived consumer effectiveness. These results show a clear opportunity for digital marketers to encourage self-accountability, to thereby elicit pride and not just guilt, and hence to impact consumer decision making in technology-mediated environments, particularly when choices have sustainability implications.
